ALL roads lead to Lucindale on March 20 and 21 for the 46th annual South East Field Days.
From the latest in agricultural and farming machinery, services and technology through to fashion, wines and gourmet food, there will be something for everyone at this month’s event.
As well as a multitude of food and locally sourced wines, there will be three food courts and plenty of shaded areas to rest and relax and take in the event.
Visitors are encouraged to meet up with friends for a delicious lunch and explore Yakka Park.
Organisers are excited to this year host the 2026 National Yard Dog Championships.

It is a very popular trial among yard dog trialers across Australia, with two permanent trial courses.
Trialing will start on Thursday, March 19 and continue through Friday and Saturday at ‘Kelpie Korner.’
The korner will again feature plenty of seating and shaded areas, providing the perfect location for spectators to take in the great work of dogs and handlers.
Another feature at this year’s field days will be performances from the Airtime FMX team – don’t miss the team in action as they launch motorcycles high in the air while performing some death-defying stunts.
